André Leon Talley
As one of the fashion world’s most recognisable characters, André Leon Talley attained legendary status as one of the most fabulous, erudite & funny fashion editors.
André Leon Talley’s fashion career began when Diana Vreeland hired him to work as an apprentice at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1974, before moving on to Warhol’s Interview magazine, WWD, W, and the New York Times, eventually landing at Vogue in 1983 where his talents were fully recognised by Anna Wintour.
André Leon Talley worked at American Vogue magazine across an impressive 30 years, from 1983 to 2013, starting as fashion news director before Anna Wintour promoted him to creative director then editor-at-large.
Blazing a trail as Vogue’s first African American male editor, at 6ft 6in tall André Leon Talley was an imposing presence in the front row of fashion shows.
He mentored and supported many models, designers, and creatives throughout his career as well as talent-scouting to identify rising stars he thought the magazine should be championing.
André’s groundbreaking influence & legacy as a Black gay man at the forefront of high fashion should not be underestimated; his sheer presence coupled with his keen design eye helped to inspire many to recognise that the industry could be diverse and inclusive.
